Looking at the prompt for @inktober day 8, frail, I’m reminded how I used to equate frail to introverted. It’s often seen as a negative to be less talkative or “shy”. Over the years as a therapist, I’ve learned being introverted does not equate to being frail. Introverted is (for myself) more in line with being empathetic and an attentive listener while still being able to advocate for myself and clients.

HEAD & HEART 22. I am exhilarated by the visual dance between the figurative and abstract.  My body of work fulfills my natural, uninhibited desire to scratch the surface in a gestural, painterly manner toward accuracy, offering more information with less detail. I realize the principles that govern each piece of my art will not be applicable in the next.  Each is a journey unto its own. This series celebrates my learned concepts and techniques as well encourages instinctive moves. In this series of abstract landscape art, I am using my unique voice, striving for harmony of color and rhythm in each composition, offered from both my head & heart.
